M. Kashower Co. , Los Angeles, California
The Colorado Street Bridge (1913) spans the seasonally wet ravine Arroyo Seco that runs from the San Gabriel Mountains to the Los Angeles River. Until the Ventura Freeway was built beside it in the mid-20th century, it was the only way to drive west out of Pasadena, and it became part of Route 66. The publisher's number is 437, below the dividing line enclosing its name on the divided back, 437.
